». • , p MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING HELD MAY 18, 1992 ZONING FILE #1737 - CONT. Mabusth stated the gazebo and deck structure would not have been subject to the average lakeshore setback at that time, but they were subject to the 75* setback and hardcover standards and a building permit would have been required. Indritz asked why that was not noted on the inspection records at that time. He introduced John Cardwell who is aware that the structures have been there for at least 25 years; Walt KIndsudder worked on the 1982 renovation project; and Warren Matheson worked with Hollander In building the deck in 1974. Rowlette remembered an addition to her house In 1974 and the restrictions in place at that time. She stated she found it hard to believe that the structures were approved to be built at that time. She said that she was on the property in the early 1970s and recalls the house with two decks and the screen porch. She said she did not remember the gazebo and lakeside deck being there. Cohen asked what the applicant Is requesting as additional square footage. Mabusth stated It consists of the gazebo and deck area. Indritz stated that there was a trade off for the garage, which was removed, and Hollander was allowed to construct a deck. He noted that because of the narrowness of the lot, virtually any construction is going to bo in violation of the 75 zone. Cohen asked if Mr. Hollander had any other documentation for the construction of the gazebo In 1974. Hoi lander noted he nas not found any documentation as such to date. Cohen noted that to realize any capital gains on the property, ho would have to have records showing improvements to the project. Hoi lander stated that he has had two major catastrophes In the home In which many documents were lost. He said he can recollect building the structures In 1974. Cohen asked If there was any hardcover that could be removed In the 0-75’ zone. K A
